TRUMP THREATENS IRAN - CALL YOUR REP!

the Trump administration escalated its sudden sabre-rattling toward Iran when President Donald Trump directly criticized Tehran in a series of tweets ... Hours after his top national security adviser put Iran “on notice” and other senior administration officials refused to rule out U.S. military action against the Islamic Republic, Trump himself appeared to threaten the Middle Eastern power in a series of tweets — and the words of U.S. presidents carry far more weight than career bureaucrats briefing behind the veil of anonymity

Call your Rep. now at (202) 224-3121. When you reach a staffer or leave a message, you can say something like:

I urge you to invoke Congressional war powers before President Trump attacks Iran. Congress must debate and vote.

Your http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/trump-threat-Iran-call-reps page pull-down list for U.S. Representatives shows Donna Edwards for district MD-04. That should be updated to Anthony Brown. Also I could not fill in the text box for feedback on my call and that needs a fix so the page works in Firefox 51.0.1.

I called Rep. Walden's office (Republican, 2nd District, OR) and spoke to Rebeca.
I urged Congressman Walden to support invoking the War Powers Act, and said it was very irresponsible for President Trumps National security adviser, to make threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I called Mark Meadows, District 11, spoke with his intern, told him my name, address, to please invoke the War Powers Act because trump had not been very self controlled so far, and I was worried about what he would do. He said that sounded like a very good idea, he would pass it on.
